Well, because I know that you, Garrison, are above all a serious person, I seriously take your argument into account.
On the high-minded side of things we have to decide if he has committed a high crime. His justice department has given him justifications for things you have mentioned and I'm not sure how that works in law and whether the evidence would stand up.
But besides the high stupidity, incompetence, insensitivity, incuriosity, and the bludeoningly ignorant management override of every working group that ever knew anything about anything that has faced us in the last 5 years...
He clearly contorted evidence to coerce Congress to allow him to bring the country to war when the actual evidence wouldn't have allowed an invasion, under international law. That is as high a crime as was ever committed by a president.
